2025 Toyota Tundra Acceleration Problems

Owner reports

Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2025 Toyota Tundra owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).

The vehicle does not predictably respond to throttle inputs (if it responds at all), when you come off the brake pedal it will begin rolling at "idle" speed as normal but when you begin to increase throttle input NOTHING will happen for several very important seconds as you roll into an intersection or need the vehicle to accelerate to maneuver. This had happened multiple times before scheduling service appointments. The day BEFORE my appointment while trying to make a right hand turn from EB 13st St in Lemont IL to SB Bell Rd, i had stopped for the red light, verified clearance to make the turn, and began my maneuver. Once I came off the brake pedal the vehicle began to roll into the intersection but as I began to turn the vehicle and try to accelerate though the turn it did not respond WHATSOEVER. …

Stopped at a stop sign at an intersection. Intersection is 4-way, with only a 2-way stop. After ensuring cross-traffic was clear, initiated a left turn from being stopped at the stop sign. Released the brake pedal and began to accelerate.Truck only accelerated to 5mph, and then began to roll/drift into the intersection with no power. No response from gas pedal. Drifted into intersection and was nearly struck by an oncoming vehicle. Accelerator finally responded, lagged once more when attempting to accelerate quickly to get out of the intersection, and then began responding appropriately. I could have been T-boned by another motorist while drifting without acceleration ability through an intersection. My foot was firmly on the gas pedal, with no response. This was only one of two occurrences of this, the truck has not been serviced by the dealer for this issue. …

I own a 2025 Toyota Tundra TRD PRO. Bought in May of 2025. Has around 10,000 miles on odometer. Multiple times since I purchased this vehicle I have tried to accelerate into the flow of traffic from a stop and the truck would barely make it into the roadway and then suddenly lose acceleration leaving me without power when I needed it most. This caused panic and near collision with other vehicles coming towards me. This has happened a few times on a four lane with a turning lane in the middle. This is serious flaw and could end up causing a collision. This is the only vehicle I have ever experienced this problem with. Since I purchased this problem has occurred five or six times on my Tundra and twice it happened to me on my wifes 2025 Toyota 4runner TRD PRO.

2025 Toyota Tundra with 2200 miles. Truck has developed an intermittent lag/hesitation when starting from a stop. At random times, when pulling out into fast moving traffic, hit the pedal to proceed and enter the roadway and it will take a second or two before there is any response from the engine. Oncoming traffic traveling at 50mph are now a second or two closer and need to brake hard to avoid collision. There seems to be a fault between the throttle pedal and the engine. No warning lamps. Difficult to reproduce as it only happens on occasion. Vehicle has not been inspected by a dealership. The issue has been reported to Toyota via online support, message # [redacted]

Toyota Tundra 2025 Limited stalled at highway speeds. The vehicle flashed "Parking Brake Support" message, but dealer says it has to do with an engine failure. Vehicle came to a grinding stop and would only advance in short spurts before dying on the side of the road. I was in the left lane of a major highway during rush hour. Luckily, traffic was behind me, and I was able to limp to the shoulder before traffic arrived. I noticed nothing prior. A loose gas cap may have prompted the system to send failure message. I haven't heard yet why it stalled. But my safety was definitely put at risk, and I was lucky to not be rearended

Unknown. The truck often lags when the accelerator is pressed. Coming from a stop seems to make it worse. It takes 1-2 seconds more than you would expect as normal for the truck to start to move. This gives you enough time to think something is wrong and cover the brake to prevent you from entering an intersection if there is a problem. The result is that you end up halfway into an intersection slower than you expected, possibly causing an accident. It seems like a combination of electronic throttle control lag, and the 10 speed transmission never knowing what gear to select causes the issue.

Upon starting the vehicle on 8/6/2025 i received multiple warnings: advanced ultrasonic detecting and ranging system malfunction, Pre-Collision system malfunction, Parking Brake system malfunction, Check engine ECM malfunction, Vehicle stability control system malfunction Secondary collison brake system malfunction, It now take almost a mile on level ground to reach 45 mph. This occurred without warning. the vehicle was ok the day before when I parked it.

While starting to accelerate from a stop whether it is going straight or turning the truck hesitates and takes multiple seconds to start accelerating leading to a potentially dangerous situation especially when turning and you can't get out of oncoming traffics way. Also when at a slow roll trying to accelerate the truck just does not apply any power for multiple seconds delaying movement and potential to avoid an accident.

Throttle lag When I accelerate from a stop, such as at a red light or stop sign, after I gently press down on the gas pedal, there is consistently a 1-2 second delay before the truck accelerates. This can cause potential delays in getting through an intersection, in turning in front of oncoming traffic, and getting going in traffic. This happens consistently since I've owned the vehicle since the summer of 2025.

There is an interment issue where the vehicle fails to accelerate from a stop when accelerator is applied. This issue is present in my current vehicle and my previous 2023 tundra. I have brought up concerns to the dealer and manufacturer and am told every time that the concern cannot be duplicated, but I feel that it is going to lead to a crash not only for me but other owners
